Knock and the door shall be opened

Scripture says if we ask, we shall receive, if we knock doors shall be opened. Yet often, it seems doors are closed. But we must be careful about perception. It is easy to have an attitude of defeat and view doors as closed simply because they do not adhere to our vision of open. But one must remember, God's ways are not the same as the ways of man.

Take for example, a revolving door. It might appear closed, but it is merely waiting to be stepped into.

That reminds me of how the Lord parted the Jordan--but not until the priests first stepped into the waters--trusting Him. I suppose if they had stood on the shores and insisted, He might have still parted the waters rather than making them get their feet wet. But that would have been disobedience to what He commanded. It wasnt fear that made them obey--it was faith and love.

I encourage you today to seek that you might find, knock that the door might be opened. God is faithful. We too must be faithful to step out in obedience and trust Him.
